What We Got Wrong About Modern Dating (Because It Isnt Supposed To Be Casual And Confusing)

We fear getting hurting so we never take a chance on truly loving someone.

We fear rejection so we don’t even try anymore.

We fear ache, so we carelessly relationship hop, hurting each other before they beat us to it.

The want and need for immediate gratification lead to us giving up on people a little too quickly. Looking for flaws and any sort of shortcoming that will give us an excuse to walk away instead of trying harder.

What a lot of people don’t realise is initially you are going to see every change at first. We are programmed to do that. But in time you learn to love those flaws. But all of those things take time and opportunities. A fair chance that people aren’t giving each other anymore.

Because if one message leads to an unmatch and your response is to look at yourself and what you said wrong, you are focusing on the incorrect thing and that isn’t the right person even if you were to say the right thing. And if you are overcome with dread of saying one incorrect thing, you’ll never be able to truly be yourself.

I’m all for dating apps and trying them out I just think people are going into them with the incorrect mindset.

You download a dating app and you’re abruptly afraid to say you want a relationship.

You download a dating app and you’re suddenly afraid to say I want a real date.

You download a dating app and you’re were supposed to merely want a hookup. But people aren’t programmed to simply hookup.

You’ll always feel empty engaging in physical relationships if you don’t even try and form an emotional one.

We aren’t get what we want in relationships because we are too afraid of asking for it so we settle for things that seem and feel like it could be the real thing and we get disappointed when we aren’t met with what we didn’t ask for.

It’s okay to want a relationship in a generation that disgraces most people for even saying that.

Dating is calling her, actually picking up the phone and calling her on a Monday to see if she’s free on a Friday and if she says yes, you make a reservation.

Dating shouldn’t be simply gratifying up for drinks. It’s having an actual meal together without looking at your telephone. It’s watching if you can hold a conversation and if you enjoy each other’s company.

Dating isn’t some meetup that’s casual. Dating is getting in your car and picking her up and driving her home and telling her you had a good night, then texting her when you’re home safely thanking her again .

Dating shouldn’t be playing hard to get and waiting to answer being too afraid if you responded too quickly, it should be answering right when you see it and when you can because if you are confident in yourself, you’re not going to care what someone might think of you.

Dating today has become this game of robbing each other’s confidence and considering who cares less because for some reason those people are getting the upper hand.

We’ve grown to fear rejection so much we swipe through our telephones on a night out instead of going up to someone we find attractive and going for it. We turned into a generation that needs validation and verification before we act. That takes away the fun part of dating. And the fun part of dating is taking a chance on someone when you aren’t sure but it feelings right.

Dating isn’t if they blow up your phone and text you all the time and tag you in shit. It’s not get aroused since they are liked your Instagram post of looked at your story.

Those things are just a distraction and a tool used to confound one another and we all fall for it. The right relationship isn’t going to be on your phone, it’s going to be the person standing next to you in real life produce you feel good and secure.

Dating is going into a night and knowing where you’re going to wake up tomorrow and that you want it to be with just person or persons. It’s shutting down anyone else that hittings on you because you’re flattered but you already have it great.

It’s not rushing to get out of there in the morning milking a hangover. You are going to enjoy being there with them because there isn’t anyone you’d instead have next to you.

Dating isn’t some passive aggressive post you hope they consider and take the hint. Dating addressing the problem if there is one and finding a solution.

Dating isn’t the WCW and needing that and a hundred likes, it’s being so sure of the other you don’t need that.

Dating isn’t some relationships with blurry lines and something that isn’t labeled, wondering if you can post that picture or not. Dating is not even having to ask the other person in the first place.

Dating isn’t keeping your alternatives open its meeting the right person and committing to them because none of us should be afraid of commitment.

It’s meeting the person’s friends and family when they already know about you and they are excited to meet you too.

Dating is realizing how different sex actually is when you’re sharing it with someone you care about and not only doing it because that’s expected when you go home with someone you don’t even know in the first place.

It’s realise casual relationships aren’t what you want and it’s okay to start asking for what you do.

It’s not analyzing your reflection or fixating upon what you say because if someone going to magistrate you that promptly, then that’s on them and it’s their loss they didn’t take the time to get to know you.

It’s meeting someone and not being afraid of telling them you build me happy. I’m really glad I gratified you. I’m enjoying this and it feels right.

Relationships are supposed to be so much easier than we are constructing them out to be.

It’s realizing how childish it is to mess with one another only because a person has hurt you or confused you or left you in the dark.

It’s rising above that and making a option to date differently than what has become modern normal dating.

Dating is complicated enough without building it any harder for ourselves.
